Hello,

What would be the proper way to resume a hybrido simulation on the command line

I was running a hybrido test sim on command line and it ran to about frame 80 for 5 million particles when realflow or my pc crashed and rebooted (don't know what caused the reboot).
Now when I try to resume the simulation, I set the frame range in the command line options to the last simulated frame or any frame before that one and the sim resets the particles to 0
I tried the reset arg but that seems to work only by resetting to the stored initial state starting from frame 0; if I try to resume from the last previously simulated frame it also resets my particle count to 0.

On a side note, is there a log where I or you could see what cause realflow to crash and reboot my system? I would think it could have been a memory thing but this simulation is only using about 26% of my system ram.

Hey,

You only need to go to command line options in the Simulation button, and set the parameters to the frame where you want to start the simulation and check the "use cache". In your case, the frame to start the simulation will be 79.

thank you Luis,

I thought you only needed to set the use cache arg when the fluid was also set to cache.

hey,

no, it is necessary to get the cache, independently if the cache is loaded or not.
